Florida State vs. Boston College Prediction and Odds (Take the Eagles and the Under in Battle of Bad Teams)
By Joe Summers
Boston College hopes to snap a five-game losing streak when they host the Florida State Seminoles tonight at 7:00 p.m. EST.
The Seminoles haven't fared much better recently, winning just once in their last eight games and failing to cover the spread in all eight.
In a battle of two bad teams, who will grasp a temporary feeling of glee?

Florida State vs. Boston College Prediction and Pick
You ever open the fridge hoping for a tasty late night snack only to realize that all you have is week-old tuna and some questionably-soggy bread? I mean, you're hungry, but you don't feel great about your choices?
That's where I'm at with this game today. These teams are terrible. Every time I watch Florida State I feel like I forget how to shoot a basketball and Boston College has won just three times in their last 16 games. But someone has to win, so who's it going to be?
The Eagles are 8-6 against the spread at home this year and have covered three of their last four, so they've got that going for them against a Seminoles squad that's just 2-8 against the spread (ATS) on the road.
Florida State theoretically should be better, with the 104th-best adjusted offensive efficiency and the 99th-ranked defensive efficiency, but the Seminoles are prone to long scoring draughts and can't seem to put it together for a full 40 minutes. As a favorite, they're a pitiful 4-13 ATS and on an 0-7 stretch.
I don't want to trust Boston College, but under no circumstances can I ever trust the Seminoles as a favorite. They've been disgustingly bad and as a rule, I don't like to put my dollars on teams that make my face look like I just ate a box full of Warheads.
I'll be taking Boston College today but I'll also be taking the under 136. The under has hit in three straight Eagles home games and is 5-2 in their last seven overall. With Florida State's offense in dire straights, I like those trends to continue. Plug your nose and take the Eagles and the under in this one.
Pick: Boston College +1 (-110) and under 136 (-110)
